Former Pie career hope

THE career of former Magpie Rupert Betheras could be revived by his old club. The 28-year-old, who was delisted at the end of 2003, has had positive talks with Collingwood and the Kangaroos.
He began pre-season training with the Roos on Wednesday after being invited by coach Dean Laidley.
"I'm just rapt the Kangaroos have given me a chance to be training at the elite level again," Betheras said yesterday.
"I've never felt better, so it didn't make sense to walk away from the game so easily."
Betheras began training a month ago with weights and speed specialist Barry Conlan. This season he played with St Mary's in Darwin and won a premiership before also playing in Cairns.
Betheras is realistic about his chances of being drafted but clings to the hope of playing again in the black and white under coach Mick Malthouse.
"I'd love to play under Mick or Dean again," he said.
"I'm just going to do everything right and come draft day you never know . . . put it this way, I won't die wondering."
